Fluctuations in fluid invasion into disordered media [PDF]
Interfaces moving in a disordered medium exhibit stochastic velocity fluctuations obeying universal scaling relations related to the presence or absence of conservation laws.

Event-based contact angle measurements inside porous media using time-resolved micro-computed tomography [PDF]
Hypothesis: Capillary-dominated multiphase flow in porous materials is strongly affected by the pore walls' wettability. Recent micro-computed tomography (mCT) studies found unexpectedly wide contact angle distributions measured on static fluid ...

Fluid imbibition into PMETAC functionalized mesoporous films [PDF]
Fluid imbibition into nanoporous films is of relevance in water harvesting, separation, or sensing. Furthermore, grafting polymers from the mesopore walls affects the wettability and ionic accessibility of mesoporous films. Using poly[2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyltrimethylammonium chloride] (PMETAC) functionalized mesoporous films we observe that the ...

Study on imbibition mechanisms in tight oil reservoirs based on nuclear magnetic resonance and pore-scale simulation [PDF]
Imbibition plays a crucial role in waterflood development and the soaking stage after fracturing in tight oil reservoirs, serving as an effective method to enhance oil recovery.

Analyzing Single- and Two-parameter Models for Describing Oil Recovery in Imbibition from Fractured Reservoirs [PDF]
The imbibition process is known as one of the main production mechanisms in fractured reservoirs where oil/gas-filled matrix blocks are surrounded by water-filled fractures.

Intrinsic versus super-rough anomalous scaling in spontaneous imbibition [PDF]
We study spontaneous imbibition using a phase field model in a two dimensional system with a dichotomic quenched noise. By imposing a constant pressure $\mu_{a}

Switchable Imbibition in Nanoporous Gold
Spontaneous imbibition enables the elegant propelling of nano-flows because of the dominance of capillarity at small length scales. The imbibition kinetics are, however, solely determined by the static geometry of the porous host, the capillarity, and ...

Flow conveying and diagnosis with carbon nanotube arrays [PDF]
Dense arrays of aligned carbon nanotubes are designed into strips, nanowicks, as a miniature wicking element for liquid delivery and potential microfluidic chemical analysis devices. Liquid wicks away along the nanowicks spontaneously.
